Update on Susan

Hey! Just thought I would let you guys know where I am. I AM GREAT!! At the meeting that I went to on Monday night before my surgery Thursday, Glenda Rowell reminded me over and over that each day had to be taken one at a time, and each day would be better than the one before. She was sooooooooo right! I came home Monday and still felt like a Mac Truck had run over me. I was sure it had, the tracks are running down my belly! Tuesday morning I awoke with GAS!!! I panicked! I am usually not that unoptomistic, but I just knew something was ROTTING inside of me and that was what was causing the gas! After talking with Janet at Dr. Whitehead's office I chewed two TUMS, EX Sugar Free. Wonderful stuff! No more gas! Wednesday morning was a little better. And the day got better as it got longer. GUESS WHAT!! I SLEPT ALL NIGHT!! Got up at 5 a.m. to potty and stayed up to watch Gunsmoke. Had a little nap before 8 a.m., but since then have been going strong! I rode with my sweetheart to run errands, went to Walmart (rode a cart there) and got home about four hours after we left. I am NOT exhausted! In fact, I have energy that I never thought I would have again. And you know what! The tracks are still there, but bet that was just a 4-wheeler, not an 18 wheeler! Maybe the rain will be gone enough tomorrow for me to get outside and walk a bit out there. I'm soooooooo glad I didn't chicken out! I'm so sorry Rhonda is having such a hard time. She has always lifted everyone else so much, seems unfair that she is having such problems. She's on my prayer list. Will update again later, Susan Hughes

Hooray Susan/ I am so glad you are doing well. Love and prayers Jane

Yeah, Susan!!! Just a 4-wheeler!!! That's not so bad, now is it???? I am glad you are doing so well. Rhonda has me pretty worried. Bless her heart. She is a tough cookie tho, so hopefully she will get straightened out here real quick. I am so glad you are doing so good. Smooch Arlies

Hi Susan. I am glad you are doing well. I have been wondering about you. My sister called me yesterday and said that she saw you at Wal-mart. I was glad to hear you were out and about. I hope you can make it to our lunch on Weds.
